Registrants Forum


 

The Northern Ireland Social Care Council Registrants’ Forum is a group of individuals who provide advice and representation to the Board on Registrants’ views and issues relating to social care registration and regulation. The Forum also helps to develop better communication and understanding between the Board and its Registrants. The Forum is not able to provide advice or representation on individual cases, but it does aim to bring fundamental issues affecting and concerning Registrants of the Social Care Council to the attention of the Board.
